I sweat like MAD when I sleep, and it seems to happen only when I'm w/d'ing. Does anyone else get this?
yup, same here man. i get cold sweats.it really sucks. its like my body is confused as to whether im hot or cold haha
idk why this geeked me out cause i'm baked. i'm still laughing. not even really sure why. sorry. them waterfalls get to me
Well, I just woke up soaked in sweat again. (about an hour or so ago). I managed to dry off, but my bed is still soaked so I'm going to have to wait for it to dry off. I hate it because it makes me feel disgusting and ridiculous but I can't help it. Does anyone know if this nice little side effect subsides once withdrawl is gone? I've been tapering off for the past week and a half and cut down from about six 80's per week to about one 40 per week. edit : I was just thinking - maybe the reason I don't sweat when I HAPPEN to sleep on oxy is that the oxys somehow moderate my body temperature, preventing me from sweating. Another thing I should note is that this doesn't happen EVERY night that I'm w/d'ing, it's pretty much random. For example, I woke up tonight soaked in sweat. Tomorrow night I might not wake up at all and have a great sleep, but then the next night I could still wake up drenched again. Is that wierd to anyone else or am I the only one who thinks so?
prolonged opiate use fuc*ks with you how you perceive temperature for some time after you quit. thats probably the last lingering symptom of withdrawal, and can last up to 2 weeks. its due to the brain re-adjusting after being f*cked with for so long. eventually it goes away and the brain re-balances, and generally sooner rather than later if you stick with not using. you said your down to one 40 a week?! huh? why are you even taking that 40...just stop. one 40 a week is nothing but as long as your brain keeps getting exposure to the drug, even in small amounts, it delays the healing process.
I just find that opiates make me a much better person, so it's hard for me to put them down. Someday though.
After moving to a different province and not being able to find a doctor, I was off of pain meds for over 2 months. Sweated waterfalls every night. Once I found a doctor he thought it was serious and tested me for AIDS, TB, etc. Everything came up negative and the night sweats stopped THE VERY NIGHT I got back on my Oxy. So ya, they can persist for quite a while.
yeah man sweating is a sure sign you're in withdrawal. i can always tell if i took just under enough suboxone cause ill wake up a couple hours early soaked
